Cool, sunny day as last day of Turkey Run roars on

It will be a cool, clear day across Volusia and Flagler counties Sunday, with abundant sun and a light breeze.

According to the National Weather Service office in Melbourne, the mercury Sunday will top out around 68 degrees. Light winds of 5 to 10 miles per hour will come out of the north-northeast.

Sunday night, the winds will die down and the temperature will dip into the lower 40s.

The NWS has issued a rip current statement for the area, indicating a high risk of strong rip currents at the beaches through at least this evening. At Daytona Beach Sunday morning, waves were semi-choppy and rising to 3 to 4 feet, with a surf temperature of 65 degrees.

Accordingly, the red flag is flying along the beaches. Anyone willing to brave the cool waters should exercise extreme caution.
